Three Innu make a momentous visit to their ancestral land

On June 18, 2013, NML representative Bocar Diagana, geologist, joined three members of Innu Takuaikan Uashat mak Mani-Utenam ("ITUM") and Nation Innu Matimekush-Lac John ("NIMLJ") on a visit to a part of their traditional territory. NML transported them by helicopter to lac Wakuach (Ushkuash) and lac Champdoré. The participants were ITUM Elder Ben McKenzie and NIMLJ members Daniel Gabriel and Maurice Vollant. The first stop was on the shore of lac Wakuach.
